Armor

In Rogue Trader there are four types of armor: Light, Medium, Heavy, and Power. Light armor has no dodge penalty, medium armor and power armor have a .75 dodge penalty, and heavy armor has a .5 dodge penalty. Heavy armor and power armor both provide deflection to the wearer while light and medium do not. Human armors cannot be worn by Aeldari, Drukhari, or Space Marines and vice versa. Aeldari and Drukhari can use each others armor so long as they have the required perk(Aeldari Equipment/Drukhari Equipment).
